Synopsis

This title forms part of the Little Library programme, which consists of a Literacy Kit, Numeracy Kit and Life Skills Kit. These were developed to respond to a need for high-quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities, and have been successfully used in schools for the last ten years. This title is found in the updated, OBE version of the Little Library Maths Kit, now called the Little Library Numeracy Kit. The Numeracy Kit keeps seven of the best stories, and introduces five new ones - all of them trialled in classrooms around the country. A journey is about the Makhanya family going on a journey by taxi, the interesting things they see and the weird and wonderful people they meet along the way. There are many Mathematical focuses in this story, including numbers, money problems, duration, measures, capacity and size.
